    Hello, this was the decision of the team responsible for management of the API.

    Some users are in breach of the terms and conditions when they sign the contract to use our API, https://developers.deezer.com/termsofuse.

    In other cases, Deezer don’t have visibility on the usage of our API.

    So, based on the findings, some cases we have manage to reinstate the APP ID, but other cases, we left the APP ID deactivated.

    Again, if we have miss judge any case, as said above, we would require evidences how the API is being used, sharing website links or applications, ... 

    Apologies for the less positive news.

    Hello ​@Andrey.Galinovskiy , first let me address that I feel very disappointing that a personal message was shared in public. Not that contains any personal information, it just betrays the trust we put in each other.

     

    That said, one of my colleagues, spotted that on your own Github page  "this project is abandoned", that is one more reason to keep the API ID disabled.

    Deezer normally runs checks on the usage made out of our API, so if, for example, we identify misusage of our API, we will deactivate that API ID.

    What we asked everybody, which had the API ID disabled, was to explain to us which purpose you are doing with our API, again, as an example if we detect, that you are monetizing the service, that is a breach of our Terms and Condition, as we can immediately disable your API ID.

     

    After reviewing your reply,“ I use it for my personal reason, to create personal playlist”, again even that we considered not respectful to share a DM, we have reactivated your API ID.

    Hello,

    Thank you for reactivating my API ID. I sincerely apologize if sharing the DM came across as disrespectful. My intention was never to share personal information—it was meant to help others—but I understand your concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding.

    As I mentioned before, I use the API strictly for personal purposes, with no monetization involved—just automation to update my playlists.

    I truly appreciate your understanding and the reactivation of my API.

    Thank you again.

    Best regards,
    Andrey

    I do believe ours was severely misjudged. I’ve sent evidence via DM and look forward to your response. Thank you.

    Hi José, I started having the same problem, error 50 when retrieving /user/me/artists

    My App Id is xxxxx, Can you check if it was disabled?
    I use this app for my personal music discovery, scanning artists and making an RSS for me to listen to new releases.

    If you want I can provide more information in private.

    Thanks!
